Key information
According to data from Ampere Analysis covering 45 markets, Marvel’s Wolverine for the PS5 sold 2.16 million copies during September. Despite significant online attention, the title's performance is reportedly disappointing for Sony, especially when considering its status as a major PlayStation Studios blockbuster and its alleged development budget.
The game faced stiff competition during the month. EA Sports FC 27 reached approximately 5 million units sold, while Wardogs achieved roughly 3 million sales. Additionally, Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword saw 1.8 million units sold, with the PC serving as its primary platform.
Ampere Analysis highlighted that physical media remains a significant component for AAA releases. For Marvel’s Wolverine, 35% of global sales were physical copies, a figure that rises to 51% within the European market.
Beyond sales figures, the game has received updates regarding its customization options. Reports indicate that the visual effects for farts within Marvel’s Wolverine are now fully personalizable for players.
